This volume continues the epistolary tale of Clarissa Harlowe, detailing her profound struggles, virtue, and relationships with various characters, primarily Mr. Lovelace and her close friend Miss Howe. The narrative unfolds through letters that convey the emotional turmoil and moral dilemmas faced by the young lady, positioned in a conflict between societal expectations and individual desires. The opening of this volume presents a series of letters exchanged among key characters, highlighting Clarissa's ongoing battle with despair and the manipulations of Lovelace. Miss Howe expresses her concern for Clarissa’s mental state while urging her to find solace in her virtue despite the harshness of their society.
